"They're run by radical left lunatics who don't know what they're doing,"
"If any city we think is going to be even a little bit dangerous for the World Cup, or for the [2028] Olympics ... but for the World Cup in particular, because they're playing in so many cities, we won't allow it," Trump said. "We'll move it around a little bit. But I hope that's not going to happen."
President Trump warned that he could move 2026 World Cup matches out of U.S. host cities he considers "a little bit dangerous" and criticized Democratic-run cities such as Seattle and San Francisco. Seattle is scheduled to host six matches, including a U.S. group-stage game; Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara is set for six matches. Inglewood's SoFi Stadium will stage eight matches, including at least two U.S. games. The tournament runs June 11 to July 19, with the final in East Rutherford, N.J. Trump lacks authority to relocate FIFA matches, though FIFA president Gianni Infantino has previously accommodated Trump.
